just scored a Motorola 12t3

[suede]

Well ever since i first saw my grandads still working 1956 Admiral in the early 90s, ive always wanted a vintage tv. I just called on this craigslist ad, said id buy it sight unseen at only 30 bucks and the gal says its mine. ill pick it up tomorrow. Yes the cord it cut off, so i assume its dead and needs complete mechanical restoration.

so please, for a complete novice. a guy whos just getting into playing with tube radios, where should i go and and what books would be good for me to study this, learn about tv's and find parts? I know how to restore furniture so.. an old school tv like this seems like a fun project to kill the winter away.

Thanks so much
